the more I tried, the more withdrawn he became. His report card arrived, saying that he had been absent 95
times from classes and failed in the exams. I sent him to the school advisor, and I even begged him. Nothing
worked.
One day, I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to
talk to you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over
Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don"t know what to do. I"ve tried
everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands." For a moment there
was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung
up.
Karl"s next report card showed marked (显著的) improvement in his grades. Last week I attended a parent-
teacher meeting with Karl. His teachers praised him a lot and were amazed at the way he had turned himself
around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That
was me. I thought I"d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you.
That"s when I knew I had to make you proud."

and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean"s
family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.
So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名), talking to people who do not
know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends
whom she keeps in touch with quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David
was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always
took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to
know more about each other. David sent her a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with
a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each
other.
When Jean"s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her
go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of
their favourite rock singer. But when she knocked on David"s door in San Francisco, she found that her special
friend was only a ten-year-old boy named Jim!
